[QUOTE="But Benefits Are Great!, post: 396369, member: 15794"] Spoken like someone who has never done anything but work FOR someone else. Higher pay unquestionaly attracts better people - if you don't believe that, you are simply clueless. Now that UPS starts unloaders at $8.50 and benefits don't kick in for a year, I really cannot understand why anyone would start their career at UPS. The vast majority of people who used to accept positions at UPS to do the brutal, physical work did so because A) After 3 months they got benefits that enhanced whatever REAL job they had, or B)They had dreams to move thru the ranks to become a driver. I started a few months prior to the new contract, so I have my benefits. I never would have considered the position of unloader at $8.50/hour if I had to wait a year to kick in - there are FAR too many easier jobs that pay much better. I have no doubt whatsoever (mark this on your calander) that regardless of what the labor contract states, you will see UPS raise its' starting rate, kick the benefits back in at 3 months instead of 12, or both within the next year.
